In a Monday morning tweet, President Donald Trump came out publicly in support of his favorite vote-suppressor, Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach, endorsing him ahead of Kansas’ Republican gubernatorial primary on Tuesday.

The Republican Governors Association and a number of high-level party operatives counseled Mr. Trump against siding with Mr. Kobach, because polls show he is unpopular with the general electorate in Kansas and would provide Democrats an opening to take back the governorship.

Splinter reached out to the RGA for their reaction to Trump’s endorsement against a sitting Republican governor, and we’ll update this story if they respond.
